Room Readiness - Main Campus

  • Consult the Room Readiness flyers in your room
  • These show you what actions to take in an emergency specific to the room that you are in

Crash Carts & Defibrillators

  • If you retrieve a crash cart, unplug it first
  • The video below discusses our defibrillators (and internal paddle testing for those working on main campus)

Medical Emergencies

  • AED Locations on Main Campus
    • Not comprehensive — just the ones you will be near most often

Main Campus Emergency/Rapid Response:

  • VUMC Landline: 1-1111
  • Cell Phone: (615) 421-1111

Ambulatory Emergency:

  • Any Phone: 911

Save this number in your phone!

Bins in the OR Suite

  • Supply items that can be reprocessed (except tourniquets) should be put in the reprocessing bin
    • Staplers are not reprocessed — wrap these in a table cover or drape and discard in regular trash
    • Tourniquets are placed on the case cart for reprocessing
    • Place reprocessing bins far away from anesthesia

Bins in the OR Suite

  • Only sharps go in the bins for sharps
  • No bins should overflow (get a replacement container)

Neptune Suction

TecSys Point of Use

  • Appropriately allocating and charging of medical supplies affects healthcare costs, accounting for 30 to 40 percent of the total costs a hospital incurs
  • TecSys Point of Use is a tracking and inventory system to help us:
    • Control inventory costs
    • Accurately capture charges for reimbursement
    • Track inventory, improving the reordering process
  • TecSys is accessed from the Intra-Op chart in eStar/Epic

TecSys Point of Use

Video duration: less than 18 minutes

Explants

  • Documentation of explanted devices in eStar/Epic is critical to capture accurate data (important for warranty tracking, etc.)
  • At the time of the explant surgery:

Document as much implant data as possible (from patient report/records or from StarPanel for past VUMC implants)

Implant in eStar/Epic

Implant NOT in eStar/Epic

    • The circulator adds it via the Historical Implant section first
    • Go to the Implant tab
    • Initiate the Explant Existing function

StarPanel

  • Items being explanted are not added to TecSys POU

If you entered the implant in the Historical Implants tab, the implant will be an option in the pop-up window after Explant Existing is clicked

VUMC2Go & Sectra

Sectra in eStar/Epic

  • Find eStar Tip Sheets here (guides outlining common processes in eStar/Epic)
  • Standalone application on the clinical workstation

Post-op Checklist

  • Initiated by circulator just prior to closing counts or before primary surgeon leaves the room (it is the attending surgeon's responsibility to ensure this is completed)

Preparing for Transfer to PACU - Main Campus

  • Remember to fill out the back side of the Face-to-Face Handoff Sheet
  • Keep up with the Events in eStar/Epic to get a timely PACU slot
      • NOTICE:(30) Minutes to Case End
      • NOTICE:Ready for Recovery

OR-to-ICU Huddle - Main Campus

Circulator Responsibilities

Anesthesia Provider Responsibilities

  • Notify Flow Charge Nurse of the need for a bed
  • Makes Equipment Notification call at when wound is closed or anesthesia emergence (similar timing as requesting a PACU slot)
  • Makes a Rolling call as the patient leaves the OR
  • In addition to "Out of Room," the circulator must click "Perioperative Care Complete" in Events
    • Click "All Events" in the Events dropdown to see this option

Dedicated ICU phone list available in all ORs
